Tortilleria Colima

I love coming here! It feels like walking into your grandmas kitchen. They always greet you and ask for what you need and what you’ll use it for. Came here in search for banana leaves and achiote for tamales. The owner, I believe, helped me get fresh banana leaves and everything I needed to make tamales for the first time. She was patient with me while I called my mom for her suggestion and list of things. I left happy with everything I need. This place brings joy to my heart because it’s very old school market. One that you would find in Central American countries the same hospitality, service, products, and quality. I also got my «masa» here for my tamales. You could also ask them to prepare, with lard, it for your tamales. Another thing you must have is their fresh and warm tortillas along with their pork skins.

An excellent tortilla factory within an easy drive from the Westside. It’s a also charming market, selling masa, supplies, fresh vegetables and chips.

Their tortillas are cheaper than ralph’s. a 36 pack is 1.49, whereas teh guerrero brand is 1.99÷30 or something like that. And they’re still warm when you get them, which is nice. Also a surprisingly good selection of vegetables/​produce and cheese for such a small market.
They also sell real masa preparada and tortillas doradas which can be hard to find, which is cool.

Tortilleria Colima is deep in USC territory. It’s a small neighborhood market with essential items such as eggs and produce. I picked up three dozen of freshly made tortillas for $ 1.49.
I came here because some one told me that this was the best place to get avocados. The avocados were big for $ 1.49 each.

A neighborhood tortilla factory and a small Mexican market in front. They have some fruits, some refrigerated items. At xmas time, they sell masa preparada. I bet they also sell masa for tortillas. This market is nice. (Will revise rating when I go more.)
